dseag2:
Three or perhaps four or five more facets of Fascism are needed to complete your list IMHO. They are:
11. A national project or great work which the state must muster all citizens to realise. This act of manifest destiny is often born out of the mythical scaffolding you mentioned in point #1.
12. Hate or at best suspicion of the "other", The other is usually portrayed as a threat to the great work and thus must be watched, driven out or destroyed.
13. The acceptance and normalisation of violence as a legitimate means towards the state's ends. That violence may be personal, collective (mob) or state driven violence.
14. The mistreatment of women as second-class citizens whose reproductive ability is held in higher regard than their abilities and equality.
15. The Cult of Personality and Leader Worship which is more a facet of totalitarianism rather than being just limited to Fascism.
Cheers and be well.

The mistreatment of (women as second-class citizens whose reproductive ability is held in higher regard than their abilities and equality) anyone "not us".
